aaaand I don't see any button for how to add after that :(

maybe copying and pasting url to the other browser wasn't enough
(I still haven't set up my remote machine that I'm running the IRC client on to shorten the URLs on a remote service, and for whatever reason, the local service won't respond when called from non-localhost.)

Freso: but I know it doesn't exist
2014-04-01 09120, 2014

so. how do I add?
2014-04-01 09128, 2014

says "or you may add a new release to MusicBrainz"
2014-04-01 09138, 2014
nemo
I'm expecting to see a form which I can use that toc info against
2014-04-01 09143, 2014
Freso
nemo: Search for either the artist of the release or the title of it.
2014-04-01 09110, 2014
nemo
well that's terribly unintuitive :-p says search OR add :-p
2014-04-01 09123, 2014
nemo
Add a new release
2014-04-01 09124, 2014
nemo
If you don't see the release you are looking for, you can still add a new one, using this CD TOC:
2014-04-01 09128, 2014
nemo
heh. and nothing below it
2014-04-01 09132, 2014
nemo
and a greyed out add button
2014-04-01 09134, 2014

2014-04-01 09147, 2014

nemo: Uh. the add button *is* grey.
2014-04-01 09106, 2014

nemo: Does it not respond when you click it?
2014-04-01 09109, 2014

and the TOC invisible? ;)

"You must enter a title and select an artist for every track."
2014-04-01 09150, 2014
nemo
Freso: hm. doesn't like comma separated lists of artists?
2014-04-01 09103, 2014
nemo
For example, for the last track, I copied from website:
2014-04-01 09115, 2014
nemo
Francis Cabrel, Pierre Flynn, Pierre Lapointe, Martin Léon, Ariane Moffatt, Térez Montcalm, Jessica Vigneault, Gilles Vigneault
2014-04-01 09154, 2014
nemo
oh great :(
2014-04-01 09102, 2014

have to add each of these as a new artist :( :( :(
2014-04-01 09105, 2014

i have a hard time believing releases like 3. Billy Joel - Piano Man (90.1%) (artist) (CD, 1973, CA, Columbia)

If it has discIDs, remove the date
2014-04-01 09136, 2014
reosarevok
If it has not, remove the format :p
2014-04-01 09117, 2014

…or if all the discIDs are attached to other releases as well, remove the discIDs and come back later and fix the format.

i think i'll save the 'correcting other releases for my anglosphere CDs' stuff to when i make my second pass through with the cases in hand to make sure i'm getting the right releases

CatQuest: that's a different case though, isn't it?
2014-04-01 09145, 2014
reosarevok
I mean, this is also a CD
2014-04-01 09146, 2014

idk, was it?
2014-04-01 09102, 2014

these releases had lots of cd's ataced
2014-04-01 09103, 2014

xplat's case is from 1973, so it can't be a CD because they didn't exist back then :)

and the one I remvoed had the matrix to match th wasabi

reosarevok
Yeah, I personally don't disagree with those edits
2014-04-01 09144, 2014
CatQuest
but I guess my point is "remove disc id" isn't as easy sometimes
2014-04-01 09145, 2014
reosarevok
(but I would have just abstained on them)
2014-04-01 09121, 2014
reosarevok
(since it *is* possible that they're shared, and it's hard to know... discIDs are messy though, so if someone wants to do those removals I also don't block them)
2014-04-01 09138, 2014

Is a revision considered new composition, or do we have a separate AR for that?

(for the composer AR I mean)

Hmm…and is an “alternate version” a revision? I guess not.
